Ditto. Having the same problem. Unable to have the Static IP save. When I click out of that Static IP screen (on the Wifi screen on the iPhone), it clears out no matter what I do. However that happened on my 3G too when I had updated to iOS4.
Got a tip for us?

JuNxXxReY posted the solution above. Set an adjacent IP address on your Mac based on what's shown on your iPhone. It doesn't work anymore the other way around.
I'm so glad I bought this app when it was available for such a short time. It comes in handy every now and then and great to know how rare of an app I have
While these setting do initiate a connection I can't get it to last for more than about 5 seconds before the app crashes. Does anyone have a solution?
follow the steps listed in this thread -> https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=5950329
then replace Step 3 (socks proxy setup ) as mentioned by JuNxXxReY
I successfully tested this with my MBA and iPhone 4. it crashed a few times, but working for few minutes now. Wish we could setup proxy on iPad though.
Edit: Not stable, crashes a lot, i got few pages to load. I really don't want to jailbreak. Trying to create my own app, searching around sample source code.
Something in OS4 is causing the program to crash prematurely. I just don't have the apple/app knowledge to figure it out.
Prematurely? When is it spposed to crash?
As per the crash logs, its reporting crash on some private API. May be Apple changed some of the private API, thats why Apple discourage the use of private API, it can be changed between OS versions.
Wish I could get a sample code somewhere so that we can build a new app.

For those lucky enough to have purchased NetShare when it was up for 24 hours will be glad to know it still works on iPhone 4. Used it to post this on my macbook
Actually, I believe it was only up for a few hours, then it went away, then it came back up for like an hour. It was during this second time that I was able to grab it.
Prematurely? When is it spposed to crash?
Haha, actually after about 20-30 minutes. But I always thought that was because of the 128mb ram on the iPhone 3g. I used it a lot that summer as my wife's old apartment didn't have any internet. The next summer, when we got married, I used BenM.at or whatever its called for tethering on my 3GS and 3.0. My connection there was actually decent enough to play xBox Live. I tethered over USB, output my signal over WIFI to my router via a bridge receiver, then that was output over ethernet to my xBox 360. It was super complicated but it got the job done most of the time. Then we moved down to my school and got real internets.
And by real internets I mean Mediacom Cable, which sucks, and actually probably doesn't deserve to be called real internets. My AT&T speed now is 4-6mbps down and 1.5-2mbps up. Most days Mediacom is 1mbps down and 1mbps up, and its supposed to be 12mbps! They actually came out and "fixed it" a couple weeks ago, but low and behold I come back from a couple week long business trip and its all jacked up again. POS.
Found a Fix for NetShare App crashing
In order to fix NetShare app from crashing in iOS4 is to close out every process/tasks on iPhone. By doing so, double click on Home button and hold down an icon until it shakes and close them all out except NetShare. Works on iPhone 4 as I'm using it right now.

when you open Netshare the bottom on the iPhone shows
instructions >
click there and it will tell you how to use it.
I notice it seems to crash less or not at all on pages not full of adds and graphics.
doesn't seem to work at all with Windows 7
Gonna try Windows XP in boot camp next.
EDIT: No joy in XP bootcamp or Windows 7 on my Vaio Z with my iPhone 4. Used to work great with my 3gs.
If a JB does not come soon looks like the 2GB tethering plan with AT&T may be the only viable option, although it seems to work (but crash) in Snow Leopard.
I heard of torrents carrying Netshare but not sure.
